Looking back at the business of Ajay’s last five films&nbsp

De De Pyaar De, Ajay Devgn’s latest offering, is all set to hit the screens on May 16 (paid previews). The romantic comedy, directed by film editor-turned-director Akiv Ali, stars Rakul Preet and Tabu in the lead roles. Ajay plays a 50-year-old single father who falls in love with a 26-year-old woman to the disapproval of his ex-wife and family.

The film, thanks to its rib-tickling trailer, has created substantial buzz ahead of its release and therefore, its box-office prospects look bright. Before De De Pyaar De arrives in cinemas, we take a look at the box-office collections of Ajay’s last five releases. Here’s reopening the actor’s box-office report card...

Total Dhamaal – Rs 154.23 crore

This year’s Total Dhamaal, directed by Indra Kumar, did phenomenally well at the box-offfice. The adventure-action comedy, also featuring Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Javed Jaffrey, Arshad Warsi and Riteish Deshmukh in the lead roles, collected Rs 154.23 crore in its lifetime.

Raid – Rs 103.07 crore

The Rajkumar Gupta-directed Raid, released last year, collected a handsome Rs 103.07 crore in its lifetime at the box-office. The crime drama, co-starring Ileana D’Cruz, received decent reviews from critics and audience alike.

Golmaal Again – Rs 205.69 crore

Director Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn never go wrong when they are together. Golmaal Again, their 2017 Diwali release, despite significant competition from Secret Superstar, did humongous business of Rs 205.69 crore.

Baadshaho – Rs 78.10 crore

Marred by negative reviews and word of mouth, Milan Luthria’s Baadshaho had to settle for mediocre business of Rs 78.10 crore. The 2017 film also starred Ileana D’Cruz, Emraan Hashmi, Esha Gupta and Vidyut Jammwal in the lead roles.

Shivaay – Rs 100.33 crore

Courtesy the astounding budget of nearly Rs 100 crore and the tremendous hype surrounding its release, Shivaay, despite being a Rs 100 crore-grosser, was termed a box-office flop. The 2016 film, directed by Ajay himself, received mostly negative reviews upon its release and ended up with lifetime earning of Rs 100.33 crore. Its clash against Ae Dil Hai Mushkil further dimmed its prospects at the box-office.

So, it’s a 3 on 5 for Ajay, which is a pretty good performance! Let’s hope De De Pyaar De turns out to be another success story for the actor.
